  1. I think this really deserves its own thread space rather than growing the numbers on Brit Girls - Fat. That title really doesn’t do the content of free will any justice and visa verca. Anyhow so far @the village idiot has done a great job of handling all our thoughts or more to the point our sub conscious thoughts on the subject of free will however let’s move on a touch. If you may how do we meditate? That may seem an obvious Q but how do we let go and meditate when the purpose of letting go is to question our subconscious and look at ourselves from within so to speak?
  2. Brother in law is Sicilian, him and the sister in law have their own Italian restaurant, it’s amazing. See if you can get your hands on a bottle of this stuff it’s gorgeous.
  3. Love a nice bottle of amarone. Italian wines are my favourite when you know what to buy.
  4. Unless that’s where he’s starting it’s a poor finish.

    Merry Xmas

    Yes merry Christmas everyone!
  6. Do you and the lads still wear them ski masks you bought with the black uniforms?

    Diy gaskets?

    Ok you caught me, ex REME here.
  8. Amazing!
  9. Do you think the work planned will be stopped or reversed?

    No I have husky technicals, I’d say they are a better fit than them. 1 of the lads has the breathe flexes so I’ll have a good look in jan and get back to you. I’ve also had stihl and sips prior. So so far I like the pros the best however I can’t yet comment on durability.

    This but after rubbing leave it in situ and tap it with the ring end of a ring spanner and it will cut it in situ perfect.
  12. So the talking should have been done at planning or within council buildings not on the street. Talking breaks down and scenarios get worse because you didn’t or sorry campaigners didn’t get the outcome they wanted.
  13. You have some rotten luck with this partnership!
  14. Based on sensory information, rational thinking and past experiences when you have been to the toilet your subconscious will give you a pat on the back and let you believe your free will took you there.
  15. The cheek of me, no Kev I don’t think your a dinosaur just yet
  16. You do know I’m only 32
  17. So if your campaigners are making these types of choices now and in your words it will get worse how long is it before someone becomes hurt based on these stupid choices? Are you condoning injury/death due to campaigner beliefs? That may sound harsh but what happens if a campaigner runs into a working area as a worker has just finished a back cut on topping a tree? Or what if a campaigner grabs brash as a worker is snedding with a saw which could cause kickback, what if that kickback causes the saw to go through an artery? Those are hyperthetical now but like you say these campaigners make choices based on what they feel are limited options to stop proceedings and they make them without thought they are made on a whim. This industry is dangerous enough on a good day!! As you say this choice delayed proceedings but it didn’t and won’t stop the outcome.

    Very impressed with my arbortec pros although I can’t comment on durability yet as I have only worn them for 3 days.
  19. Worse how? Please elaborate.
  20. It is just another variable your computer deals with the outcome is still decided by your subconscious not your free will. I think thats how it goes.
  21. Apparently not we are all just learning that there is no free will and any choice we make is our computer giving us a pat on the back and giving us the mirage that we made a choice but the truth is conditions, variables and information guides our subconscious into guiding us down a path based on past experiences, rational thinking and data processing so you see we cant be acountable for our actions as we didn’t have the free will to chose them. Using the other thread as my guide I dont blame anyone for protesting it really isn’t their fault they are running on commodore 64’s.
  22. Out of interest does anyone know how much the council has paid out on claims from people falling over roots, broken pavements caused by the trees or damage to cars people etc in Sheffield? Now that we live in a blame culture and solicitors are no win no fee. Im not saying they have paid anything as I genuinely dont know but it would be interesting to see if this kind of thing has a bearing on removing/pruning.
  23. Fair enough but the work will still happen. On the countryfile video it states Sheffield has the highest amount of trees over any other city. Although this could have been handled better probability says there’s more chance of work needed to be done on trees or trees to be removed. Would the residents of sheffield pay more council tax in order to keep the trees?
  24. When will be a good time? It is never going to be a good thing but it will happen. Im not sure why people choose a forum primarily used by Tree surgeons to try and get justification on stopping people taking trees down. It is a perfect oxymoron if ever I have seen one.
